Insulation stands between you and a cold world outside. Look for all of the ways that cold air can infiltrate your home and seal them up. One of the most commonly overlooked areas is your electrical outlets. Seal them up using electric outlet seals that fit under the cover plate and block off those tiny, pervasive, annoying drafts.
